“Stories That Matter”: DISCOVERING MY ROOTS

The younger generation is often considered to represent the future. They are also the custodians of Indigenous heritage and tradition.

In this age where modernism has infiltrated indigenous communities in many ways, many young people are disconnected to their culture.

This is the time for the youth to discover their ‘roots’ - indigenous culture and heritage. It’s time learn and understand what is the meaning of the indigenous identity.
